Also very much in the area of poetry, politics, and the "transnational," if I may, there is an interview I've conducted with the Cuban poet Omar Perez. It can be found here, within a special feature section on Perez, edited by Kristin Dykstra, his translator (Factory School recently published Perez's Something of the Sacred, in Dykstra's translation). Perez is one of Cuba's most prominent and controversial (he has gotten into significant trouble with the authorities in Cuba) younger poets and critics. He also happens to be, unbelievably enough, the son of Ernesto "Che" Guevara and one of the founders of the country's first Center of Zen Buddhism (he is an ordained Zen monk). I thought some people would find his comments quite interesting. <a href="http://jacketmagazine.com/35/index.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://jacketmagazine.com/35/index.shtml</a> Kent Good interview…
